I use Gray Line propagation to make contacts into South America and the SW Pacific during the weeks around the Spring and Fall Equinoxes. I also use sun position to estimate the probability of HF blackouts during Solar CME events. ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-10-31* It can’t be a five star because daylight savings time doesn’t work. As I’m in standard time right now the summer won’t be under daylight savings time so if there was daylight savings time during June if the sun would set at 21:00 on the app it would say 20:00. Besides this it’s a great app. I would recommend it for people who want to see the sunlight across the Earth. ### 5/5 — Moving of the earth and sun. To day Ann night. *2022-09-18* Like the way the earth moves. Day and night. And Sun. North America and South America ### 5/5 — Hi *2022-07-24* Very useful and informative ### 5/5 — toll umgesetzt *2022-03-14* Sehr sehr gute App. Toll auch die Funktion zum Erstellen von Animationen. Schön wäre es, wenn man auch die Polarkreise wahlweise einblenden könnte. ### 5/5 — Earth Images *2022-01-14* Wow where does one begin I like the details and graphics very nicely done also extremely accurate as far as the position of the sun & moon. Also time of year great for planning the moon cycles. Highly recommended to anyone, Thank You Chrispen G. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2021-10-02* Agora com a última correção o app está perfeito, por favor traduzam para o português para ficar completo, amamos o seu app **Developer response:** This issue has been fixed in version 5.3.1. ### 4/5 — Military Time *2021-09-20* Please add a 24 hour clock setting for the widget feature. Great app otherwise ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Widget Broken! *2026-04-26* Map inside the widget is actually tiny on my 15 pro and the writing is now unreadable… Very sorry I updated! ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2026-03-16* When I first open the app the night time shadow is shifted. To correct you have to go to landscape to correct whatever problem this issue currently has. Amateurish at best. ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing *2023-10-22* Crashed ### 1/5 — Day & Night Map *2023-06-24* Moon position was not displayed!!!, but Sun position is there. Please correct the bug if such bug in this App. Thanks Moon position was displayed in iOS 9, but never in iOS 15 or iPadOS 15?? Thank you for reply, however Moon position was activated, but Moon was never seen in the Map in iPad 15. Thank you for your try in recent update, but really still failed to display the MOON in iPad 15!!!???… However the Moon is displayed in Versions iOS 12 and below-for iPhone, iPad. Thank you for this update, in which the MOON is displayed in iOS 15, but the MOON still not displayed in iPad 15, as it is still displayed with previous versions!!!!. Best regards Moon position still not displayed in iPad 15 Long time passed since my review, nothing was done to display The MOON POSITION!!!???.. According to my previous review, you didn’t responding to display the MOON position in iPad 16.5, while the Moon position can be displayed in iOS 16.5!. Hope you will correct this. Best regards. This App works very well in iOS 16.5, however in iPad 16.5 Moon position still not displayed. I hope you will correct it soon. Best regards. ### 1/5 — Day & Night Map *2022-03-02, version 5.3.2* Moon position was not displayed!!!, but Sun position is there.

I was not going to update in the first place because updates are always touch and go on iOS, but I had to because the previous version of this app was not properly updating my location. Now that’s solved but the other problem appeared, which is disappointing because this used to be a great app. ### 2/5 — Nothing to see here *2019-01-24* What’s the point if the oceans are almost the same color as the shadow, so the shadow is practically invisible? ### 2/5 — Accurate but… *2016-01-13* • The white background REALLY hinders map viewing. • It would be good to be able to see the 3 twilights (civil, astronomical, nautical). ### 3/5 — Widget does not update *2023-11-17* Widget doesn't show current terminus. Must open the main app ### 3/5 — Hab nichts vergleichbares gefunden *2020-09-17* Vielen Dank für diese App! Habe lange im Store genau nach so etwas gesucht! Als alter WindowsPhone-Nutzer war ich eine solche Darstellung schon systemseitig gewohnt,dort konnte man übrigens noch Favoritenstädte auf der Weltkarte einblenden und hatte sofort ein Gefühl dafür welche Tageszeit wo gerade herrscht, durch Antippen der Favoriten hat man es dann ganz genau erfahren... Momentan 2 Sterne Abzug: einer weil sich das UI irgendwie ein bisschen clunky anfühlt, kann gar nicht genau beschreiben wieso, als würde man sich heutzutage nochmal an ein Win3.11 Programm setzen... Der zweite, weil seit dem Update aufs neue iOS14-Widget-System (großes Lob für die schnelle Umsetzung!) der Nachtschatten bei mir nicht mehr korrekt dargestellt wird -> nur noch als Viereck :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bom E útil *2026-05-20* Gostei achei bem interessante a funcionalidade do app ### 5/5 — Day & Night Map *2025-09-18* Just love seeing where the sun is overhead and its journey up and down between the tropics. ### 5/5 — App *2024-11-23* Good app ### 5/5 — Really good for Radio Hams *2024-11-13* This is really good to forecast where the ‘Grey zone’ will fall on any two locations on the globe at any time in the future, in local time or UTC. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-05-31* I love how you can make your own gifs. I’d love to see the option of keeping noon at the center and have the map move. Also, showing the analemma and where the sun is on it would be cool as well. ### 5/5 — Cool‼️😎 *2024-03-17* Das geht genau in die Richtung von dem, was ich eigentlich immer mal gesucht habe, um den Wechsel von Tag und Nacht zu verstehen. ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2023-12-21* It’s wonderful. ### 5/5 — Genau was ich suchte *2023-10-01* Wollte meinem Sohn erklären wieso es im Urlaub früher oder später hell/dunkel wird. Geht super mit dieser App. Habe vorher zwei andere probiert, aber die waren eine Katastrophe. Wäre noch schön wenn man einen zweiten (Heimatort) in der Karte markieren könnte. ### 5/5 — Yay! *2023-07-18* I didn’t realize you had updated your app! It had been a while since you updated it. I was going to look for another app and remove this app. Any app that are not updated for over a year, I delete apps. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-16* It is nice to be able to follow the path of the sun throughout the year and know when it is going to get dark. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
